Streetscape and Cap Park

Construction will begin this summer on DDOT’s Streetscape and Deckover project along Connecticut Avenue, from California Street to north of Dupont Circle – approximately 2,600 feet of roadway. The project also includes a deck-over of Connecticut Avenue, covering the underpass between Dupont Circle and Q Street, creating new public space for special events such as a farmer’s market, outdoor movies, music, plays, and cultural events.
Additional improvements will enhance pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and vehicular traffic by rebuilding curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and pedestrian ramps, and adding new street lights, traffic signals, and crosswalks. The project will include new green infrastructure elements, street furniture, trees, and landscaping to provide a sustainable streetscape environment.
